Most of the puzzles are indeed too simple, and sometimes repetitive.
The bosses are out of place for a puzzle hack, but aren't bad bosses in their own right. The Thwomp boss is one of the better custom bosses on this site, even though it's hard. Nothing about it runs counter-intuitive to vanilla SMW, and it is completely deterministic, so consistent setups can be crafted to defeat it. I liked the final boss.
So, not a good puzzle hack, but a decent non-puzzle hack.
Agreed. I cannot consider this "making levels from scratch", not because of using Smw's original levels, just rehash the levels that you've previously made, by making small changes to it, and pass it off as a different level.
Also, kill rooms can be bypassed by sliding the screen (LR) so that all sprites are offscreen.
And why does the player spawns over a switch in certain levels? I understand that happened in a Wario land 4, but it is awkward. At least use uberasm and on level init clears the on/off flag.
EDIT:If you done that send a video on youtube.
welcome to dinosaur land peach is kidnapped by bowser and you save her (insert jeopardy music from SMW64 here)
But i can say, what the other moderator of your other hack already said, put a bit more love into your hacks.
i watch the half of the hack via youtube video and the puzzles reminds me more of another "100 rooms of enemys", so, there are not puzzles at all, killrooms.
If you want to make a great puzzle hacks BETATESTERS are very IMPORTANT! they can say if a puzzle too hard, too easy or too shitty.
Keep it up.
A lot of really strange levels, especially the switch palaces. What even is the point of them?
The difficulty is all over the place. I really dislike the boss choices. You'd think three thwomp bosses would be unmanageable, but you managed to make the single thwomp in castle 4 even worse with that room's setup. That was probably the worst boss I have ever played, beating even the piranha boss. Bowser is also a really weird one.
Yeah, you can see, I did not enjoy myself. This hack doesn't break any rules however, and for that it is accepted. Still it gets a one star rating from me - sorry. You've got some reading up to do if you want to design something actually enjoyable.
(Also your original description said you can press L or R to go back to the overworld, which isn't true? You can press Start+Select. I've fixed that for you.)
